DXB -> HIA. Clear, medkium golden, fine mm-mousse. Medium savoury nose, brioche, dried cherries, lemon, green apples and definetely some roasted nut character (almonds). Dry, high acidity, aromas of yellow fruits, lemon, mineral. Medium body and ditto finish, focussed and well balanced. Silky soft persistent mousse that lifts the wine off the palate. Great apero!
DXB -> HIA. Clear, pale golden with slow moving legs. CLean, medium bouquet of white fruits, tropical fruits and toasted oak. On the palate this dry wine with high acidity displays aromas of vanille, sweet spice, pear, some caramel-like notes. Medium body with well-balanced acidity, fruit and oak, medium long refreshing finish.Drink now.
DXB -> HIA. Clear, pale lemon,wide watery rim. Clean medium nose of green apple and passion fruit. Dry on the palate, with notably medium acidity, aromas of green apple, grapefruit, lemon, soft sweet spice, flint. Medium body very well balance between fruits and acidity with long-ish and satisfying finish.
DXB -> HIA. Clear, medium ruby, slow moving. Medium (-) complex nose of black fruits, cooked fruit, black pepper, eucalyptus, toffee. Dry, medium (+) acidity, high in ripe tannins, aromas of cherries, cedar, eucalyptus, little smoked meat, reasonably complex yet not overwhelming. Medium body with glycerine texture (the wine does not melt on the palate). Well balanced and elegant with medium (+) finish, despite the acidity leaves sweet aftertaste. Elegant yes, but fails to make a real impression. Is this an example of the Bordeaux-austerity or is the wine in a sleep phase when the fruit aromas are in decline and the structure and tertiary flavours are not developed yet? Wait.
